Get Genesis back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund

Without my tuk-tuk Genesis can't work; a $1,900 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 7 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,900. Without the vehicle I earn nothing. I have been borrowing from friends to pay rent, and now I have run out of people to ask. I support my younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four months if I can just get the vehicle working. I have a written estimate from a certified mechanic and will upload it here. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $1,900 goes: โ€ข clutch assembly replacement (parts): $1,300 โ€ข Labor charges: $310 โ€ข Road tax and insurance renewal: $165 โ€ข Towing and inspection: $125 If you're reading this, thank you. - Genesis
